Ryzen 3 4300GE vs Core i7-8700 comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i7-8700 is faster than the Ryzen 3 4300GE. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Ryzen 3 4300GE in all gaming tests too.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Core i7-8700 has significantly more cores with 6 cores compared to the Ryzen 3 4300GE that has 4 cores. It also has more threads than the Ryzen 3 4300GE. Our comparison shows that the Ryzen 3 4300GE has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-8700. A Ryzen 3 4300GE CPU outputs less heat than a Core i7-8700 CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. The cache sizes of these CPUs are different. Indeed, the Ryzen 3 4300GE has slightly more L2 cache than the Core i7-8700. Despite this, the Core i7-8700 has significantly more L3 cache compared to the Ryzen 3 4300GE.

The more cores a CPU has, the better the overall performance will be in parallel workloads such as multitasking. Many CPUs have more threads than cores, this means that each physical core is split into multiple logical cores, making them more efficient. Indeed, the Ryzen 3 4300GE has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
